June 2010 Infectious Diseases @ EUH Learning Activities: Preceptor: Jan Pack Office: EUH Pharmaceutical Services Hours: ~ 8:00 5:00 Desk: 404 712 5212 Pager: 14278 General Description Infectious Diseases (ID) is a four week learning experience at Emory University Hospital. There are two teaching ID teams; ID consult service and ID transplant service and an antimicrobial stewardship program. Each resident will rotate through both the consult and transplant service during the four week rotation. Each resident will help manage the stewardship program. Each resident will be expected to attend microbiology rounds minimum of two times a week. The pharmacy resident is responsible for identifying and resolving medication therapy issues for consult patients and stewardship patients. In addition, the resident will provide and document therapeutic drug monitoring services for assigned Zone patients receiving vancomycin or aminoglycosides. Documentation must be completed within the electronic medical record on the day service was provided. Good communication and interpersonal skills are vital to success in this experience. The resident must devise efficient strategies for accomplishing the required activities in a limited time frame. In addition to patient care, the resident must provide education to the team or pharmacists as the need arises. At least, one educational presentation is required to be presented to the team during the learning experience. Infectious Diseases Topics Hospital related infections in which the resident will be expected to gain proficiency through literature review, topic discussion, and/or direct patient care experience include, but are not limited to: Catheter related infections
Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infections Nosocomial Pneumonia Community Acquired Pneumonia Endocarditis Meningitis Management of new fever in critically ill patients Clostridium difficile associated disease Consensus review of therapeutic monitoring of vancomycin Synergy use of low dose aminoglycosides Management of candidiasis and application of healthcare guidelines Antimicrobial stewardship Multidrug resistant organisms Evaluation of newer antimicrobials Goals Selected Goals selected to be taught and evaluated during this learning experience include: Goal R1.5: Provide concise, applicable, comprehensive, and timely responses to requests for drug information from patients and health care providers.

Presentation to antibiotic subcommittee that involves the areas of pharmacodynamic R1.5 R5.1

Resident should lead some of the discussions. If students or other residents are on the rotation concurrently then an outline must be prepared for the discussion Provide pharmacokinetic monitoring/renal dosing services for patients receiving drugs requiring monitoring including, but not limited to, aminoglycosides and vancomycin R5.1 R2.8 Initiate monitoring plans or medication therapy changes as per protocol or verbal orders R2.9 Weekend and day off sign out for PK +/ team patients R2.11 Document ADRs and interventions in Pharmacy One Source R 1.5 Document medication variances in STARS Event Reporting System R2.12 R2.12 Present patients to preceptor in the afternoons employing evidence based medicine knowledge gained via independent reading and learning R1.5 Provide educational in services to nurses or pharmacists as requested by preceptor R5.1 Serve as co preceptor for pharmacy students when applicable R5.1 Balance patient care and other residency responsibilities R2.2 Discuss time management strategy with preceptor R2.2 Preceptor Interaction Daily: Preceptor available for patient presentations, reviewing progress notes, and/or topic discussions midmorning 09:30 to 11:30.
Microbiology Rounds 13:00 14:00 minimum two times a week. Team rounds usually start at 14:00 daily, but can vary depending upon the attending on service. Expected progression of resident responsibility on this learning experience: Day 1 @ 0800: Preceptor to review ID learning activities and expectations with resident. Week 1: Resident to work up consult or transplant team patients and present to preceptor prior to team rounds. Preceptor may attend and participate in team rounds (modeling pharmacist s role on the health care team). Week 2: Resident to work up consult or transplant team patients and present select patients to preceptor prior to team rounds. Preceptor may attend and participate in team rounds (coaching the resident to take on more responsibilities as the pharmacist on the health care team). Week 3 4: Resident will rotate to other ID team for the remaining two weeks of rotation. Resident will work up team patients and present select patients to preceptor prior to team rounds. Preceptor may attend and observe the resident s participation on, and/or may expect a summary report from the resident regarding rounding activities and use of recommendations made by the resident. Preceptor will always be available for questions and will follow patients independently to monitor resident skill development in all aspects of the learning experience (facilitating the resident as the pharmacist on the health care team). Note: the length of time the preceptor spends in each of the phases of learning will depend BOTH on the resident s progression in the current rotation and when the rotation occurs in the residency program Evaluation Strategy ResiTrak will be used for documentation of formal evaluations. For formative evaluations, residents will perform the activity appropriate to the snapshot with the preceptor. Resident and preceptor will then independently complete the snapshot. After both have signed the evaluation, the resident and preceptor will compare and discuss the evaluations. This discussion will provide feedback both on their performance of the activity and the accuracy of the self assessment. Formative evaluation will also occur as verbal or written feedback on a daily basis. What Snapshot Who When Formative Self Evaluation R2.12.2 Resident week 2 Formative R2.12.2 Preceptor week 2
